Anyone who goes to your "Channel" page on Youtube, that is, the personal page you have if you hold a user account with Youtube, can see what you have "liked", commented upon, added to a playlist, and so on, if you do not disable these "features": it is the sort of thing that for privacy's sake and care for users' one would think they would provide disabled by default, and require users to opt-in, though of course that might be rather simple of me to expect given the slogan is "Broadcast Yourself"; Facebook may take a lot of flack on privacy concerns, but Youtube seems not to since it says up-front what it is about!

No comments:

When you find a post useful, leave a comment if you would, maybe pass along the link: whether on a social network or on your own site. After all, the web is for linking, so we don't have to duplicate everything!

Consider Subscribing...

because

A blog (usually) rarely updated, so you need not worry about inundation with content demanding attention. Its original intent was for publishing rare or very useful stuff, like the post working around Nautilus picking fights on an XFCE desktop.

I am no programmer or computer scientist, but am a web junky and, as a poor boy with only dreams, one who doesn't like to incur massive investments into something like an OS just to safely and effectively continue using my own hardware long after its makers would love it to expire. So I encounter problems and...figure them out.

I also like to post on rights issues in America.

I think on occassion some commentary will slip-in too, AND WANT TO WARN THAT MODERATION IS ENABLED BECAUSE I KEPT GETTING CHINESE SPAM LINKING TO MALICIOUS ASIAN PORN SITES ON MY BLOGS!
